Update JSON format post 3.1?

Is there any official documentation on the JSON format Solr 3.5 expects when adding/updating documents via /update/json?  Most of the official documentation is 3.1, and I am of the understanding this changed in v3.2 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2496).  I believe I have the correct format, but I am getting an odd error:

"The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect (Expected: OBJECT_START but got ARRAY_START"

My JSON format is as follows (simplified):
{"add":
{"doc":
[
{"ID":"987654321","Name":"Steve Smith","ChildIDs":["3841"]}
]
}
}

The idea is that I want to be able to send multiple documents within the same request, although in this example I am demonstrating only a single document. "ChildIDs" is defined as a multivalued field.

Thanks.

Sorry...I found the answer in the comments of the previously mentioned Jira ticket.  Apparently the proposed solution differed from the final one (the "doc" structure key is not needed, apparently).
